Sex differences in the relationship between socioeconomic status and cardiovascular disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background: Whether androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular related disease is poorly defined. The aim of the present meta‐analysis is to explore the relationship between ADT and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Method: For this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched databases until April 2019 for randomized controlled trial (RCT) or observational studies that reported data on ADT administration and cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence. The relationship was evaluated through estimate relative risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) Result: A statistically significant difference was detected for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (RR = 1.13; 95% CI, 1.10–1.15; P< 0.05) including a total of 142,186 cases and 174,404 controls. Significant difference between coronary heart disease (CHD) and ADT was also observed, with summary (RR=1.11; 95% confidence interval CI: 1.10-1.13), from 157,339 ADT users and 349,636 non-ADT users of 7 eligible studies. Conclusions: Pooled result demonstrated that ADT could significantly increase the risk of CHD, AMI and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Various ADT modalities have different impact on cardiovascular disease risk in different level. Our meta-analysis also suggests that the application of ADT in prostate cancer patients for over 5 years resulted in a significant increase in cardiovascular morbidity. Moreover, subgroup analyses for different types of ADT indicated that compared with the individual administration of ADT, GnRH plus AA (oral anti-androgens) is more likely significantly lead to AMI.

The Relationship

The study evaluates the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Effectiveness through a Systematic Review of Literature. The relationship has been evaluated in two steps. First, a Systematic review of literature was done to provide a theoretical framework to link the dimensions of Emotional Intelligence to the elements of effective leadership. Meta-analysis was then used to consolidate empirical evidence of the relationship. The studies for the meta-analysis were sourced from Pro Quest and EBSCO and the correlation coefficients of the studies were analysed. Only articles that presented the direct relationship between the variables were included in the study. The results of the analysis revealed a strong, statistically significant relationship between emotional intelligence and effective leadership. The findings of the study provide evidence for the proposition that Emotional Intelligence and Leadership Effectiveness are interrelated.

The Relationship

This systematic review aimed to find attitudes toward Altruistic and Game-playing love styles across individualistic and collectivistic cultures. Addressing major moderators concerning Altruistic and Game-playing love styles are the secondary objectives of this review. This review included 102 articles comprising samples from 37 countries (N = 41997). The findings of this meta-analysis show that there is a collectivistic and individualistic difference in Game-playing but not in the Altruistic love style. Collectivistic and individualistic cultures, on average, demonstrate the same perception concerning the Altruistic love style, whereas collectivistic culture shows the Game-playing love style more strongly. To explain the role of moderators in key measures, the subgroup analysis and meta-regression show that both Game-playing and Altruistic love styles decline by increasing the length of the relationship. Likewise, having children affects these love styles such that the Altruistic love style is improved, and the Game-playing love style is reduced by the presence of children in families.
